FOREWORD
Each year, The Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust is responsible for investing over £800,000 of funding in training and education to ensure that the healthcare workforce is available in the right numbers, with the right values, skills and behaviours to meet current and future patient needs.
We believe we can meet these needs by developing a more flexible workforce that is able to respond to the changing patterns of service, embrace improvement practices and research and innovation to enable us to adapt to the changing demands of public health services. This is the organisational and cultural transformation we aspire toward.
This first edition sets out some of the work underway which has embraced cultural dimensions, improvement, information technology, research and innovation, technical and scientific discoveries.
We recognise that engagement and partnership working with stakeholders will be essential. Alongside this brochure, we are launching a stakeholder engagement exercise via the making a difference platform inviting feedback to help shape our strategy and inform our future. If you would like to contact us outside of this forum, please use our contact details on the last page of this booklet.
Thank you all who are involved in our first education prospectus and we look forward to continued engagement as we begin this transformation.

INTRODUCTION
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is committed to ensuring a safe environment for staff and patients so that the highest possible standard of care can be delivered; education remains a key priority within the development and delivery of health services.
Education and learning is a vital component in enabling staff at all levels and working in all disciplines to fulfil their potential and deliver compassionate, skilled and effective care to our patients, ensuring any concerns raised by service users are addressed within the training we offer.
We aim to take an integrated approach to:-
• Ensure the future supply of the workforce to meet organisational needs.
• Ensure the current workforce are safe and meeting their statutory and mandatory training requirements.

FUNCTIONAL SKILLS
The Trust support all employees who wish to develop their Functional Skills and obtain a recognised qualification in English and Maths. Courses are offered through various providers and are available both face-to-face and distance learning.
These qualifications are aimed at employees who do not currently hold a qualification in English or Maths or wish to up-skill a current qualification. Developing your Functional Skills may assist you with career progression and is also a requirement for higher level study.
HEALTH CARE SUPPORT WORKER ACADEMY
The academy has been set up in conjunction with the Integrated Care System (ICB) for Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, to deliver induction training to Health Care Support Workers (HCSW) who are new to care.
In conjunction with Telford College, training is delivered in purposebuilt facilities, including a skills lab. The Academy timetable ensures all HCSWs have the right basic skills in place before entering a clinical environment, including statutory and mandatory training and the theoretical aspects of the care certificate, whilst showcasing collaborative teaching from partner organisations, across the ICB, giving candidates the confidence to be able to deliver safe patient care. Here at SaTH, in order to pastorally support new to the Trust HCSWs, we have introduced buddy training for established HCSWs, who can practically support the new individuals as they settle into their roles.
CARE CERTIFICATE
This is a fully funded Level 1 Certificate which is mandatory to HCA staff who are new to a formal care setting. Completion is necessary within the probationary period (6 month from start date). The Care Certificate is made up of E Learning followed by a competency assessment in the learner’s workplace.

PRE-REGISTERED NURSING AND MIDWIFERY EDUCATION
We have a team of Senior Practice Education Facilitators and Practice Education Facilitators (PEFs) who support pre-registered student nurses, midwives, and trainee nurse associates. These teams organise clinical placements and review placement capacity.
They visit the clinical environment and provide support and guidance, not only for the learners but also for the practice assessors and supervisors, who, in turn, provide mentorship for the learners.
Finally, they provide Practice Assessor and Supervisor Training and updates, as well as clinical skills training as required.
This certificate is also available for employees who are required to complete this as part of an apprenticeship or higher-level pathway.

POST REGISTERED NURSING AND MIDWIFERY EDUCATION

PRECEPTORSHIP
We have a team of Senior Practice Education Facilitators and Practice Education Facilitators (PEFs) who provide post registered education to Registered Nurses, Registered Midwives and Nursing Associates.
The team also provide education and training for Health Care Support Workers across the organisation.
We have established preceptorship programmes for newly registered nursing associates, nurses and midwives.
These programmes are all 12 months in duration and supported by preceptorship leads who facilitate training and also co-ordinate pastoral visits in clinical areas.
The preceptorship programme has been developed in collaboration with the integrated care system (ICS). Preceptorship at SATH is a multiprofession programme which meets the needs of registrants across the nursing, midwifery and AHP workforce. We are proud to have received the preceptorship national quality mark in December 2023.

CORE CLINICAL SKILLS
We provide skills training for cannulation, venepuncture, IV Administration, male and female catheterisation, placement of NG Tubes, managing the deteriorating patient for RNs and HCAs, and PROMPT training which is specific to midwifery.
The Practice Education Facilitator teams within nursing and midwifery provide support and guidance on all levels of skills training and assessment, as well as supporting staff to achieve competency in the clinical environment.
INTERNATIONAL RECRUITMENT
OSCE PREPARATION
We have a very vibrant and robust OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Exam) preparation programme, with a 100% pass rate, we are currently the training hub, not only for SaTH, but also for Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt and Shropshire Community.
All our international recruits receive a 16 week training programme, including a mock OSCE exam, delivered at Telford College and Telford United Football Ground.
Our training team includes nurses who have previously been through the OSCE training programme, and therefore completely understand the process.

WARD TRANSITION PROGRAMME
Once through OSCE preparation we provide support for the transition to clinical area. We provide a 2-week training programme which includes specialist health care professionals from across the trust as well as assessment of clinical skills in a simulated environment.
The ward transition programme ensures our internationally trained registrants have everything they need, in the way of knowledge and skills before they reach the clinical environment.
As with the OSCE preparation team the ward transition programme is delivered, in part, by international nurses who have been through the adaptation programme or taken OSCE to gain their UK registration.
SIMULATION TRAINING
We have a dedicated simulation faculty who offer an integrated professional education approach to simulation training for both undergraduate and postgraduate medical staff, as well as RNs and HCAs. All courses are run from our purpose-built simulation suite within the Copthorne Training Centre at RSH. We offer courses on the management of emergency clinical conditions and the deteriorating patient with a focus on ‘human factors’ and there effects in stressful situations.
We are currently rolling out simulation training to the clinical areas (In-situ sim) providing an even more immersive, authentic experience, where multidisciplinary groups can learn together in their clinical environment and explore teamwork, patient safety, leadership, and systems.
Simulation training is also a component of the preceptorship pathway and the ward transition of our international training programme. All programmes include a debrief giving trainees an opportunity to reflect and learn from the experience in a safe forum. They are extremely popular sessions and are well evaluated by those who attend.
SATH IMPROVEMENT HUB
SaTH is committed to creating a culture that puts Continuous Improvement at the forefront of our transformational journey.
Following a five-year partnership with the Virginia Mason Institute in the USA, SaTH continues to further develop and embed the Trust’s approach to Continuous Improvement at all levels of the organisation.
Our aim is to empower colleagues at all levels to have the confidence, capability, passion and knowledge, to test changes and make improvements at SaTH and the communities we serve.
To support our transformation journey, the Trust has developed an Improvement Hub that provides the necessary expertise that supports colleagues at all levels.
To access any support to help you make improvements in your area please contact the hub on envelope sath.improvementhub@nhs.net or refer to the courses we have available in the SaTH Education prospectus.

LEADERSHIP & DEVELOPMENT
Our Values and Behaviours underpin everything that we do. All of our Leaders at different levels of the Trust are responsible for role modelling the Trust Values and Behaviours. A Leader’s role is one which encourages teams to do the same, by creating environments where teams can flourish and supporting teams and individuals to achieve their potential. Using the values and behaviours to develop more effective team working and collaboration will have an impact on the patient experience and quality of care we provide to our patients, families and our communities.
SaTH are committed to supporting you and your teams to develop your leadership so that together we can achieve our vision ‘to provide excellent care to the communities we serve’.
We run a wide variety of programmes and modules that provide a wider range of learning experiences designed to support and develop our leaders ranging from people starting their management and leadership career to our established senior leaders.
SaTH offers onsite, regional, and national courses delivered face to face and digitally to fully support and develop our manager and leaders so we can together achieve improvements in areas such as values and behaviours, health and wellbeing and inclusion.
Launched in September 2022,.our Strive Towards Excellence Programme (STEP) is a management skills programme underpinned by a management skills and competency framework transitioning into leadership behaviours for managers at all levels; including accountabilities, management competence and leadership behaviours
This runs alongside our existing leadership development framework including the foundations of supervision and team leadership (FOSATL) for aspiring leaders and our SaTH 1–4 leadership programmes from supervisory, first line, middle managers and senior manager programmes.

A new leadership programme targeted at our colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds launched in September 2022, ‘Galvanise’, this programme is supported by reciprocal mentoring, action learning, coaching, developing leadership styles, observing board meetings, networking and peer support.

We provide a variety of courses and programmes that run throughout the year as outlined in the following table:
ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
There are 14 different specialties that form the Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) group, and they provide treatment and help to rehabilitate adults and children who are ill, have disabilities or special needs, to live life as fully as possible.
They work across a wide range of different settings including the community, people’s homes, schools, and hospitals.
AHPs frequently work along-side doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals making independent assessments, and decisions about the best course of treatment.
As an AHP it is important that you can work as part of a wider team of health professionals to deliver your own specialist expertise you have acquired.
There are a range of opportunities available to AHPs, which can enable you to progress in your healthcare career, these include:
Many AHP areas have a vocational qualification which will enable you to become a Clinical Support Worker or Therapies Assistant furthering your career path.

Career development pathways within individual departments; we have named “Growing our own Workforce” which will lead you from healthcare assistant to band 5 registered practitioners and beyond. Apprenticeship opportunities are available in many of the specialties, leading to diploma or degree level qualifications on completion.
You will be able to apply for registration with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) once you achieve your diploma/degree and become an independent practitioner.
MEDICAL EDUCATION
The Medical Education department at Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust, provides educational support and guidance to the doctors in training based on site at SaTH and those trainees on community placements within the local area.
Our aim is to ensure that the trainees working at SaTH receive the best educational experience possible. The Postgraduate team will ensure quality control of postgraduate medical training programmes, promote the learning environment and support and develop those with an educational role. They also provide pastoral and career support as necessary and assist with the management of doctors needing additional support.
The department is responsible for coordinating and the safe delivery of all postgraduate medical education; this includes training for IMT, Specialty and Foundation Trainees. The team also manage the August induction process and study leave requests.
Within each specialty there is an appointed Royal College Tutor who is available to offer support, guidance and careers advice to those trainees within that specialty, the tutor will liaise regularly with the appropriate postgraduate school to ensure that curriculums are delivered.
The team also provided support to our locally employed doctors by way of allocating supervisors where necessary, providing support for study leave and arranging education and training sessions.
APPRENTICESHIPS
Apprenticeships are a funded route for developing our workforce. Apprenticeships can be used to attract new recruits into the NHS or to develop existing employees within their current role or into new roles to underpin service development and transformation.
Apprenticeships are underpinned by nationally agreed Apprenticeship Standards (these exist from Level 2 to Level 7). Some recognised qualifications are amalgamated into an apprenticeship programme e.g. Registered Nurse, Physiotherapist. Apprenticeships are available for employees of any age to enrol on. Funding for the training aspect of an apprenticeship is available through the Trusts Apprenticeship Levy.
Approaching 800 Apprenticeship Standards are available nationally, with more continually being developed and approved. Training Providers are approved to offer a specific qualification, the Trust has established relationships with some Providers to offer specific programmes.

To access the Apprenticeship funding there has to be significant new learning taking place. Training Providers will assess current skills and knowledge before enrolling a new learner onto an Apprenticeship programme.
An apprentice cannot access funding if they are undertaking another Apprenticeship or Government funded qualification or have a qualification in the same vocational subject at the same or a higher level. They must also have been resident in the UK for 3 years and eligible to work in the UK.
SaTHApprenticeships Scanmeto getintouch
All apprenticeship programmes include a requirement to undertake 6 hours per week (based on 30+ hours contract) of working time training over the duration of the apprenticeship supported by their manager. It does not necessarily mean time away from the workplace. The training can be achieved in a variety of ways, day or block release at a training provider’s establishment, in-house training, learning new skills, e-learning, shadowing, manager/supervisor tuition, writing and researching assignments, etc. For existing staff utilising the apprenticeship route the manager and prospective apprenticeship learner should ideally document through appraisal and record in the resulting Personal Development Plan (PDP). If discussed outside appraisal, the PDP must be updated.

LIBRARY SERVICES

We aim to deliver evidence-based knowledge services that promote diverse learning and facilitate knowledge creation to provide the right information to enable learning, innovation and research supported by skilled library staff.

We have resources to support all clinical and non-clinical areas of the Trust, as well as resources for NVQs, postgraduate medical exams (such as MRCP, MRCOG etc.), and management and leadership. If we do not have resources to support a particular area, we can obtain them from elsewhere or purchase them for the library.

CULTURE
The culture strategy was implemented in 2022, to support the overall cultural transformation for the Trust. The strategy uses four key areas of focus and is measured by the Culture Dashboard. The Culture Dashboard shows our six key themes, using data taken from the Staff Survey results each year. Both of these link back to the People Plan for the Trust.
In 2022 we started a Trust wide initiative to deliver Civility and Respect Sessions to all colleagues from ‘Board to Ward’.
The feedback received on these sessions has been excellent, if you have not yet attended a session, please visit the Training Diary to book your place.
If you would like to have a bespoke session for your team, please contact Lisa Baker-Murray – l.baker-murray@nhs.net
